- After Intel stated in a June 1 presentation UniPixel (NASDAQ:UNXL) has begun production of its roll-to-roll metal mesh touch sensor film in Q2, UniPixel contacted Intel to tell them production hasn't begun, says SA author Richard X. Roe. Intel later removed the comment from its presentation.
- Roe doesn't expect a June 25 operational update call (previous) to reveal major progress towards mass-production, and declares "a failure to start production would simply be admission of another delay," given UniPixel and partner Kodak (NYSE:KODK) have forecast commercial production would start by July 1.
- He adds recent CEO comments and the website of a UniPixel sub-contractor suggest improving roll-to-roll plating yields remain a challenge, and states the company's Diamond Guard film is "apparently nothing more than a commodity off-the-shelf acrylic coating."
